This reresents excellent valuw. Rooms was very clean, all the facilities you would need. No need to pay double the price for something probably not as good. Will definitely book again next time I visit Edinburgh.

Lovely comfortable, spacious room. Lots of really great coffee spots nearby and some amazing food options without the tourist tax of the city centre. I will definitely stay again next time we're up.

A very convenient place close to the attractions. The place needs a bit of renovation but is located in a good area. Can use some comfortable mattresses as the current ones are not good and the bathroom fan was too loud.

Useful location but on arrival no one there and had to call to get access. Not very welcoming. High degree of utility. Nice artworks. Didn’t see any staff at all when I left so went on my way leaving the key as indicated in a glass jar

Staff were very friendly and the location was great. A short bus ride into central Edinburgh and reasonable fares. The guest house was a little run down, but very clean and charming. our room was at the front of the guest house and i was expecting traffic noise, but it was very quiet and we had a good nights sleep.

A bit tired but was clean and met our needs for an overnight stay. Little contact with staff but access was simple with keys for all doors to get in late at night.

10/10

Stayed two nights during the Edinburgh Festival. Room was spotless,shower great and the very best use was made of the limited space. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
2-night trip

6/10

Too expensive, impression was possibly a two-star place with hard beds, noisy rooms and sloppy painted / decorated. Breakfast could at least be included.

It was a bit out of the way from Royal Mile area, but we like to walk-so it wasn’t so bad for us. It is about a mile from Royal Mile.
